Got the rear shocks on and they are a little soft. I am going to break them open and install some hidden springs to effect the floating bolt. I was going to do that in the begging but I was afraid it would be too stiff. I am still not happy with the look of the forks. Springer does not belong on a street tracker. I am working on some shocks I can build into the fork legs. Let me know what you think of the stance or any other suggestions would be helpful.

I really like the look of the front end, but I think it would look better on a bobber/street bike. Some beefy motocross looking front shocks with black rubber boots would look good on your project. Great work! I think it would look cool to make it look like a scaled down Baja racer.

Built a new table for the jig. Getting ready for the next build while I paint the last one. And I cleaned the shop. Can you believe it?

I definitely agree on the forks. I am working on an easy way to build some beefy looking off road forks.

Looks great keep the first as a prototype fork and all. I would have moved the shock mounts on swing arm so the shock stands upright and get more travel. Cant wait too see the new fork your building for the new frame!!
